Today, we introduce the Champions of the Ring Gladiator Championship Belt!

This belt is similar to the Hardcore Belt the WWE had years ago in that you have to defend it against challengers on a constant basis. Anyone is open to challenge the current title holder, and the title holder must compete to defend the title over any other kind of dark match. The rules are as follows...

1. The champion MUST defend their belt against any challengers on a regular basis. Avoiding title defenses will get the belt stripped from you, and you will be barred from competing for the belt in the future.

2. When challenged for the belt, the challenger(s) will determine the match stipulations. The current champion will have no say in the match rules. If the challengers cannot unanimously agree on the match stipulations, then the GM will decide.

3. You must include as many people in each match as possible.

Gladiator Championship matches DO NOT award EXP or RP. Instead, at the end of every week (12 AM EST on Sunday), whomever holds the belt will be awarded 3 EXP and 1 CP. They will also be granted one free championship match of their choice from any Division they are currently competing in. The Gladiator Champion must PM the GM (me) to make their choice. Only after the match is approved and appears on the match card can the match take place.

Remember guys, the point is to have fun!

"They will also be granted one free championship match of their choice from any Division they are currently competing in."

Maybe a streak or something. Hold it at the end of consecutive Sundays? Otherwise Sunday will be a mad dash for the belt. I mean you win one match on a Sunday then you're getting a title shot based off of possibly luck? Seems to make the chase for the titles cheapen if I can camp out Sundays and hope for the best.

IDK if this is the best answere or not (it might be) but having a title match every week is kinda insane :/

Well, if it seems like too much, then maybe I will have to change it to just give a big RP boost for the holder at the end of the week.

Its going to keep things exciting.. Thats why its called the gladiator belt.. constantly defended.. the belt shouldnt mean the world to you.. unless u can hold it for a while.. Its not a prestigious belt like the HW or the cruserweight but it allows everyone to get a chance at a belt and make people feel like they have a reason to play after being destroyed by me in the HW division.. Personally I love the concept..

The point of the belt is to give people a fun reason to play outside of normal matches. If people are coming on Saturday (not Sunday, Saturday is the last day) to compete for this belt, then I consider that a victory. It's about having fun, not worrying about if someone got "lucky."

If I go 0-22, then get on Saturday and win the belt, I shouldn't get a title shot at the other belts.

It makes the Heavyweight and World titles seem less if I can lose all my matches then win Saturday night for a shot.

Oh, Johhny, I didn't miss the point. You're just worry too much and over complicating it. Stuff like that happens all the time in the WWE and other wrestling shows/feds. The Miz stole the WWE title by cashing in his MITB briefcase on a wounded Randy Orton. Why shouldn't people be able to do something similar here? If someone goes 0-22 they're not going to be stealing a title from anyone anyway =P

Plus, in the end I'm going to be the one booking the title shots and it's not always going to be a 1v1 title shot the following week anyway. Sometimes, I might put people on reserve until the PPV, like if we're going to have an Elimination Chamber PPV. I might give them a guaranteed spot in the chamber a few weeks out instead of an immediate title shot. It all depends on the belt they choose and the circumstances.

I have removed rule #4. I have realized that with the challengers determining the match stipulations (match type/rules) and the rule to include as many people as possible, there is no reason to require each match to have a different number of people. Carry on and have fun!
